Iowa State Cyclones logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- The very first logo for the Iowa State Cyclones was created at the end of the 19th century, in 1894, and featured a bright vivid yellow and white color palette.
- That was a simple yet elegant IAC monogram with the smooth capital letters overlapping each other.
- 1894 – 1896 In the same year, another logo version was introduced.
- This time it was an angular and strong inscription in the same yellow and white color palette, but with a completely different mood.
- The capital sans-serif letters of the inscription were set in horizontal space, slightly jumping above the line and separated by two solid yellow dots.
- The negative space of the letter “A” was also drawn as a dot, but in white, and this is what made the Iowa State Cyclones badge unique and recognizable.
- A medium-weight Sans-serif uppercase letter “A” in intense yellow color was the only element of the new badge.
- 1910 The yellow and white color palette came back to the Iowa State Cyclones’ visual identity already in 1910.
- This time the logo featured an arched uppercase “AMES” lettering in a square serif typeface, very typical for college athletic teams of that time.
- The yellow “ISC” monogram was now executed in two fonts — with the “I” in gothic serif, with sharp elements in the middle line of the vertical bar, and “S” and “C” in plain medium-weight sans-serif with regular shapes and contours.
- 1965 The 1965 emblem featured a large red cardinal bird with a flag in its beak.
- 1984 In 1984, a logo featuring a red cyclone wave was introduced.
- 1995 After another experiment with a cardinal and a cyclone wave in 1995, the Iowa State Cyclones logo became a typographic one.
- 2007 The logo, designed for the Iowa State Cyclones in 2007, looked strong and modern.
- The voluminous geometric “I” in two shades of burgundy and a thick yellow outline, had its contours straight and strong and was overlapped by a massive arched “State” wordmark in all capitals of the same serif font, but with the yellow letters in a burgundy outline featuring a smaller size and thinner lines.
